Coat proteın variability of Apple mosaic virus isolates from different plant hosts

Abstract

Apple mosaic virus,  apathogen of stone and pome fruits and hazelnut worldwide, shows great variability in its biological, serological and molecular properties. Apple mosaic virus (ApMV) variants were collected from hazelnut plantations located in Black Sea region of Turkey and the apple isolates were collected from main apple cultivation areas. The infection was present on different local hazelnut varieties but the infection was only detected on Granny Smith apple variety in Turkey. The Rubus plantations surrounding the orchards were also infected with ApMV. The coat protein sequences of fifteen ApMV variants from different hazelnut varieties and the ‘Granny Smith’ apple variety were obtained  and the phylogenetic analyses  were performed. The sequences obtained from hazelnut revealed slightly different in nucleic acid and amino acid composition compared to the sequences obtained from apples in Turkey. Since the Granny Smith is originated from abroad, the infection might be imported by the infected plant material to Turkey.
